A—6 e HITLER TO STRIVE | FORATEDRECH Will Fire Opening Gun in 1935 Drive to End Depression. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 26.—Reichs- H fuehrer Adolf Hitler himself will fire the opening gun in the Nazis® New Year offensive on depression and dis- content, it was reported today. t The reports said Hitler might even convoke the Reichstag within the week to hear him deliver an appeal to the German people and the world con- | cerning the Saar plebiscite Jmluryl 13 and, incidentally, promise Germany ! 1935 would be better than 1934. i Htiler will add a big feather to his cap right at the beginning of 1935. The Saar plebiscite almost certainly will return an overwhelming vote for Germany—and Hitler and the Nazis will get the credit. Expected to Avold War. As far as Germany is concerned, there appears no reason to apprehend that she will do anything to provoke war in 1935. Aside from her precari- ous economic position, two factors are powerful deterrents to war at this time. The first of these is the Reichs- wehr. Military authorities know an army is never weaker than during a period of reorganization—and the Reichswehr is right in the midst of a gigantic reorganization. Another factor for peace is the | numerous interests involved in the Olympic games of 1936. Germany is building the largest stadium, the greatest Olympic village, the best transportation system to the games grounds that the world has known. She expects not only great interna- tional prestige, but millions in re- turn. The year 1935 probably will wit- ness many changes in administration. Like Mussolini, Hitler is beginning to do the house cleaning which ir-' evitably proves necessary after a rev- olution has succeeded. The ‘“blood purge” of June 30 did rid Germany of much riff-raff. Many persons be- lieve a second “blood purge” will prove necessary in 1935. Others, however, assert Hitler can accomplish the same I purpose by merely suspending leaders who prove inadequate. Military Clash Predicted. The year's end found rumors cur- rent of an im clash between Gen. Werner von Blomberg’s Reichs- wehr (regular army) and Heinrich Himmel's black-shirted Schutz Staffel (picked Nazi guards). Well informed ol ers believed, however, that the army would continue its policy of staying out of political conflicts. The course in 1935 appeared to depend in great part on the rela- tionship between Hitler and the Reichswehr. Himmel apparently feels that Der Fuehrer cannot depend upon the army. He therefore has or- ganized sections of the Schutz Staffel in quasi-military fashion. strengthen the allegiance. It is not to be ted, apparently, that 1935 will see any slightest let-up in the anti- mitic policies of the Hitler regime. he year will see a final showdown ! veen Naziism and the orthodox ' h forces, it is predicted. By tacit agreement a truce appears to ], at least as between the n Catholic church and the uthorities, until after the Saar iscite. As to the Catholic side, the supreme conflict apparently will be over the control of the youth.

Seen. ‘While the general program has not yet been completed, the phases which officials semed to agree would emerge from the round of White House talks with a presidential check mark beside them were: A Civilian Conservation Corps en- larged to take care of about a mil- lion men. A work relief program contemplat- ing slum clearance and low-cost housing. A broadened public works plan, two phases of which would provide for the elimination of grade cross- ings on principal highways and rural electrification. ol New Finance Plan Essential. The President’s letter sald revision of procedure for municipal financing had been found essential. He sug- gested: Simplification of municipal financ- ing of public works projects by speed- ing up referenda on bond issues and permitting the private sale of bonds to the Federal Government. Giving municipalities new powers for undertaking public works and is- suing bonds. Creation of municipal improvement authorities with power to issue bonds. Authorizing municipalities to en- gage in slum clearance and low- cost housing. Providing for non-profit public bene- fit corporations to provide for rural electrification. Validation of bonds heretofore issued for public works projects by munici- palities.

Nazi Toy Soldiers Capture Nurseries In War Maneuvers Children Too Young to| Join Hitler Forces Rehearse at Home. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 29.—Little tin numbers in German nurseries, just as | the men they copy march throughout the land. The toys are of many colors, sizes and prices, so that children too poor and too small to be members of the Hitler youth can imitate at home the maneuvers of brothers and fathers in 20-odd Hitlerite units. The manager of one Berlin toy shop said today the sales of the soldiers are helping push the toy trade out of the doldrums. | “The warriors are selling in such | numbers,” he commented, “that they | form an important business, the dol- lar volume of which still can't be es- timated. Some of them come from the hard-hit Thuringia toymakers, others from doll manufacturers who are find- ing war playthings better business.” | Playing at soldiers is replacing | playing at marbles, and German chil- | dren have developed an elaborate sys- tem of rules and forfeits. NEW STERILIZATION LAW | DRAFTED FOR OKLAHOMA | State Assistant Attorney General Terms It Different From Any Other Attempted. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, December 29. —Jess L. Ballard, assistant attorney general, today completed drafts of a new sterilization law for Oklahoma, | which he said is “different from any- | thing ever attempted by any other State.” | The proposed law provides for | sterilization of habitual criminals, after trial in district court, upon pro- ceedings instituted by the attorney general.

Inmates and those who have been released after serving three prison terms would be affected. Only the third conviction need be in Okla- homa. BAR PLANS PURGE Los Angeles Association to Disbar Lawyers With Gang Connections. LOS ANGELES, December 29 (#).— Norman A. Bailie, president of the State Bar of California, announced today his organization soon will in- augurate a sweeping investigation cal- culated to purge its ranks of any lawyers found to have underworld connections. The drive, although State-wide, will be concentrated in Los Angeles County because of the fact about half the attorneys of California are in this county, Bailie said. ‘The bar association president said disbarment will be the penalty as- sessed against offenders if the facts warrant. ‘Wins Fishing Contest.

Chairman McCormack, Democrat, of Massachusetts said the committee might seek an extension of time to write its report to the House. Payments Are Read. McCormack read into the record a financial statement showing payments by the committee of $1,000 to Henry 'W. Stephens of Warsaw, N. C., former national commander of the Legion, and $6,300 to William H. Doyle, a Le- glon official in Massachusetts. No ex- planation for the payments was pre- sented at the hearing. Earlier the committee questioned \Albert G. Christmas, New York at- torney, about approximately $154,000 said by other committee witnesses to have been made available by Robert Sterling Clark, New York capitalist, to combat inflation and to promote sound money sentiment. Mr. Clark is known as helr of the Singer Sew- ing Machine millions. Mr. Christmas said Mr. Clark had turned over to him $100,000 early in 1933 to be used to “fight inflation.” Of this, $97,000 was expended in a few months, but no accounting had been made or asked for by Mr. Clark He said that of the $97,000, about $30,000 went to the Sound Currency Committee, of which Gerald C. Mc- Guire was president, while the rest was expended for “traveling and en- tainment,” with no explanations asked. Command Offer Reported. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, former Marine Corps officer, has declared that McGuire offered him command of an army of 50,000 veterans to march on Washington and take con- trol of the Government. McGuire, it was testified, drew from Mr. Christmas between September 12 and 14, 1933, a total of $153,665, but b ,000. eturned $48,000. It appeared that a speech written by Mr. Christmas was submitted to Gen. Butler. It was against inflation and was to be delivered at the Le- gion’s Chicago convention. Gen. But- ler refused to go to the convention. Mr. McGuire, financed by the $64,- 000 in cash, was able to get a standard resolution through the con- vention, it was testified. “Can’t you give us any more in- formation than you have what this money was spent for by McGuire,” Chairman McCormack asked. “Well, $24,000 went for entertain- ment.” “What that all?” “Well, liquor,” Christmas replied. “And you can give the committee no more information how McGuire spent the $64,000. You will stand on what you have sald so far?” “Yes.” Chairman McCormack disclosed that McGuire in his secret testimony be- fore the committee some weeks ago had testified that he returned $30,000 to Christmas. “He did not return such a sum,” Christmas decried. ‘He sald he did.” “Then he is mistaken.” “Didn’t he ever give you back any of the cash you advanced him?” “In Chicago he returned $12,000 of the $34,000 I gave him,” Christmas said. Beyond this information the com- mittee obtained no further details about the $30,000 that Mr. McGuire had testified he returned to Christmas.
